Hope these have enough time to get some votes...sadly I don't think there is enough time.
But I'll put in my vote.

I think once it becomes known it's the mother fucking Slaughterhouse 9 in town I think the Philly Guild will be forgiven.
You know, when you get right down to it I get the impression Jack really is little more than a garden variety nihilist serial killer. Looking to make things 'interesting' in the way he does? How trite. For all the 'over the top' horror it's more of the same. I bet he even keeps a copy of Catcher in the Rye on him. Douchebag.

I should note here that I'm still unhappy with this Tourist stunt. Putting aside my preference for the other option, which is not relevant here, my dislike is twofold:
(1) Instead of creating extras who can take care of themselves - such as elite infantry - the stunt creates extras who, even if they miraculously do not need babysitting, do nothing to help us deal with the larger problem at hand.
(2) Instead of creating healthy extras, the stunt compounds the problems of (1) by creating several injured useless extras thus adding to the deadweight.

You bet. Even elite infantry can be extras. Landcollector pm'd me stating his disbelief, but yeah, you totally can as long as you're good at rationalizing why they're there.
Remember, it's the testing facility they're holed up in. Obviously they're interested in parahuman spotting, or trying to get a look at tinker tech, or something similar. If they're special forces (or ex-special forces, which is more plausible), they're gear heads that drool over weapon specs.
Or (and this is just for lulz) they're a CUI wetworks team there for REASONS. Hilarity ensues

This isn't their fight." You notice that the tourists here today are in much better shape than the average...and the tattoos of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor...oh. "Then again, they'll make it theirs."
Although...if we do stunt them to be off-duty Marines....shouldn't we go for the workers?
So, a version of Funky's stunt that gives us a glance at the civilians having Eagle, Globe, and Anchor tattoos. Back to the drawing board.

Solid. And clever in implementation.
PRT workers are explicitly non-combat. Which is why they were stunted as being technicians and engineers.
I heard he even jaywalks sometimes, the cad.

I know that.
But go with a stunt that mentions going for prioritizing the PRT workers (who are stunted as technicians and engineers) AND mentioning the civilians are off-duty Marines.
Because Marines wouldn't LET you prioritize protecting them in a situation like this. They'd be too busy kicking ass.
You're not thinking heinously enough. Sometimes, he goes out in disguise to an area's furniture stores and cuts off the tags on the mattresses.
